Western Mass lucks out with only light snow for the morning

When we wake-up tomorrow morning the flakes will be flying yet again and there will be a fresh blanket of snow on the ground. What else is new? More snow for what has been a long, snowy winter.

However, this time around snow haters are in luck! The same storm that is dumping heavy snow across parts of the upper Mid-West is headed our way, but as it does it is bumping into super dry air and this air mass will save us from a big snowstorm.

As the snow moves in tonight the dry air will erode the snow shield causing it to weaken and dry up. Some snow will still arrive later on, but it will be light and the storm will be fast moving. The combination will keep snow totals way down. The snow will start in the wee hours of the morning and be gone by mid-morning. Snowfall rates will be light and by the time it's all said and done we're only expecting an 1-3" of fluffy snow across the area. The sun will be out in the afternoon then it's just cold and dry with a moderating trend for the middle of the week.
